Yaki's has always held a special place in my heart. Their location in Monrovia was a popular pre football game meal stop (when it really should have been a post game meal stop). The Monrovia location has since closed, and now the corner of Alameda and Main is the spot. The menu and all its familiar flavors are the same and never disappoint. Yeah, you can go for the bowls, which range in size from small to 20-pound plates, but my order always stays the same, a yako cheeseburger, a bulldog, and a yakissito.
The yako is your standard teriyaki cheeseburger but with a grilled chicken filet married into the melted cheese and topped off with onion, 1000 island and teriyaki sauces. To this day i've never had a burger quite like this anywhere else. Bougie that is I, I'll pay for a side of cabbage to add to the sandwich, it add texture and a bit of acidity that cuts through the melty burger/ chicken combination.
In between bites, feel free to nibble on the bulldog. Now the bulldog is especially unique. It is a hot dog wrapped in american cheese and nestled inside a mustard coated spring roll. Accompanying the bulldog is a side of a 1/2 1000 island/ 1/2 teriyaki combination called 'froggy sauce'. One dip and you're hooked.
You have to finish off your meal with a deliciously fresh yakissito. The yakissito is a spring roll filled with a homemade pudding and deep fried. Definitely a once in a blue moon treat but worth every calorie. It comes out piping hot and satisfies like few desserts can.
The vibe on the corner is lively and a great place to sit and watch the people and cars go by. Come hungry, leave satisfied seems to be the motto here no matter what you try, whether is a bowl, plate, or burger. The owner is always nice and usually either behind the grill or at the register hard at work. I always told them they'd make millions if they bottled both their teriyaki and 'froggy' sauces. Let's hope that Yaki's is still around in 50 years or as long as I can make it to Burbank. Looking forward to my next visit!
Ordered teriyaki beef and chicken combo. It came out in 7 min. Taste good. Decent price.
Large portion is the plus in here.
Quick stop! It had a decent rating, so I gave the teriyaki bowl a try. The flavor was decent overall. I like the grilled chicken taste with some crispy parts to it. The meat/cabbage was just the top half and the rest was rice. It didn't come with a lot of sauce, so if you're a sauce person, I'd recommend asking for a bit more. I didn't finish the rice. The cabbage had hints of flavors, but nothing memorable.
Would I go back? Not necessarily. But it was busy during lunch and a convenient spot for a lot of nearby workers. I was the only female amongst 6-7 people in line. For the price, it works.
Hamburgers are delicious. This is based on my first visit here. However looking at the menu it is way too overcrowded with too much stuff. On a busy corner in Burbank and the wait staff there are direct and to the point but ultimately with a sense of humor.
So. Much. Food. That. Tastes. So. So. So. Good. Bit seriously, the portions are quite generous and the food is wonderfully filling. What is great about this place is how simple and delicious it really is without trying to showcase that. I have seen this place with a massive line and decided to try it another time, and while I was there they did steady business but without making you wait or leaving you feeling that the food may be rushed. Will definitely be going back. And whatever the little fried hotdog and cheese thing is. That was so good. Try it.
Great local spot. It's good and fast but not Fastfood. I got the chicken and steak teriyaki plate.
If you like Teriyaki Burgers and Bowls, you need to do yourself a favor and come to the place that started it all!!! this places' food is sooOooo good, the flavors are rich but light, sweet and savory, simple and extremely well made. They have a great selection
You will walk away with a full stomach and a happy soul... for reals, plus the owner Harry is one of the most genuinely nicest person I have ever meet that truly cares about his customers... it not uncommon for you to be waiting in line and hear Harry call out the peoples name as they order.
Pro Tip: Get a Bull Dog w/ Froggy sauce & take a Yakisito for desert
This place and employees deserve more than 5 star. I’m not a big fan of fast/street food, but sometimes I stop by to get a bite, just because I want to support them. Food is fresh and delicious, employees are working hard and doing their best to satisfy customers, that is more than 5⭐️ already. Thank, and stay forever in your business!
